    The story of two people, both as magnetic as they are dangerous, who get caught in an electric game of cat and mouse

    The question is, Who is the predator and who is the prey?

    Meet Iris: a dark soul with a propensity for obsession, still reeling from a recent loss, who relies on a local grief group to keep her grounded and out of trouble. And now meet Jack: a cagey widower who shows up at a meeting one night and jolts both of them back to life.

    From the moment Jack first takes a shabby plastic chair in the circle, he is positively dashing. And Iris can’t help but feel that fate has brought them together.

    But their chance encounter sends them racing through a series of hairpin twists where nothing is as it seems and no one plays by the rules. As Iris is drawn deeper into Jack’s world, she begins to realize that her own deceptions may be no match—or maybe they're the perfect match?—for all the dirty secrets Jack has been hiding.

    Edgy, intricately plotted, and totally chilling, Sorry for Your Loss is a blistering psychological thriller for fans of Ashley Elston, Ana Reyes, and Ashley Audrain.
    Praise for Sorry for Your Loss
    "McVeigh's narrative voice is sharp and precise...Fans of Gone Girl and My Sister, the Serial Killer will find themselves captivated by McVeigh's take on romantic obsession and the pitfalls of manipulation."
    —Booklist

    "Georgia McVeigh explodes onto the thriller scene with her twisty, tense and utterly addictive debut Sorry for Your Loss. Iris is a mimic, a master of self-invention with a dark streak and a dangerous past. Jack is a charming, grieving widower with deeply buried secrets. When the two collide in a grief support group, obsession ignites and the game begins. But who’s the predator and who’s the prey? This is a psychological thriller with teeth that will keep you guessing until the final page."
    —Karma Brown, #1 international bestselling author of Recipe for a Perfect Wife

    “Georgia McVeigh delivers a masterful psychological thriller rife with unexpected twists, emotional chaos, and chills aplenty. Absolutely delicious reading!”
    —Linda Castillo, New York Times bestselling author

    “Stop whatever you’re doing and READ this book. The thriller of the year has just arrived! This is unreliable narrator perfection from a dazzling new writing talent. Beg, borrow or steal a copy. Or, trust me, you’ll be sorry for your loss.”
    —Matthew Blake, #1 International Bestselling author of Anna O

    “Deliciously devious and wildly entertaining, Sorry for Your Loss had me gasping at every twist.”
    —Kelsey Cox, bestselling author of Party of Liars

    “Georgia McVeigh’s debut follows obsessive and complex, Iris, recently grieving a loss, as she meets the oh-so-charming, Jack, when he steps into her grief group. They have a lot in common, maybe more than meets the eye. Sorry for Your Loss, is a masterfully constructed, viscerally gripping, sharp psychological thriller, that will have you racing from twist to twist with the most delicious and dynamic sense of foreboding.”
    —Ashley Tate, international bestselling author of Twenty-Seven Minutes

    “Sorry for Your Loss is a twisty, gripping thriller with a wonderfully original premise and a fabulously unhinged narrator—I loved it!”
    —Katherine Faulkner, author of Greenwich Park

    "Sorry For Your Loss     is a sharp, addictive, and wonderfully dark cat-and-mouse tangle of attraction and danger. With layers of nested tension and a narrator who keeps you guessing, I was swept up in the intrigue. I know readers are going to love it!"
    —Rosemary Henningan, author of The Favourite

    "The most fucked up support group since Fight Club! McVeigh’s twisty thriller follows two damaged souls who meet in a bereavement and cautiously form a new romance. Both are not who they seem, and both pose more threat to the other than either could have imagined. Sorry For Your Loss feels like the platonic ideal of psychological suspense: you can’t get truer to the spirit of the genre than this book."
